"This thing eats carrion, you eat it. I just think about it and feel disgusted."
"Are all you people from Great Xia like this? Why do you even eat corpse beetles? What does that have to do with eating carrion?"
"Exactly, are you all sick? You even have such ideas?"
"We don't know if we're sick, but we don't eat poop, right? You're a country that eats poop, aren't you? Are your brains full of shit?"
"Damn, that's so disgusting."
...
The Dean's conference room.
"Wow, Zhou Lin's skills are getting more and more proficient. This roasting is really good."
Professor Hu thought Zhou Lin was really good, and it looked impressive just watching.
"Yes, it looks good, but... why does this vine look different? Is the mercury about to come out?"
Professor Wen's gaze was always on the vine.
"Oh, isn't it? I completely forgot about this vine. This is bad."
"Has the mercury come out? Will something happen because of this?"
"I don't know. I'm worried about the archaeological team. As for Zhou Lin, he's not within my scope of concern. If Zhou Lin can't make it, then we'll just wait to die."
"That would break Zhou Lin's heart. Even Zhou Lin deserves some concern."
"Do you think he needs concern?"
"No."
...
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin's conversation with the professors did not make the mercenaries relax. Instead, they looked at the vines on the side. These vines, as if they had evolved, had turned from green to white, a silvery white.
Did this mean another fierce battle was coming soon?
"Professor, get down, everyone get down quickly."
Captain Zhao saw that the vines on the side had changed, and they seemed to be standing tall and proud, their heads already sharp.
All the dangers were now aimed at everyone.
At Captain Zhao's command, the students and professors around them instinctively dropped to the ground.
As soon as they hit the ground, they felt something flash over their heads, making it impossible to ignore.
*Ding—*
The mercenaries wanted to draw their daggers to cut them down, but at this moment, the mercury was like silver, solid and extremely hard.
After a crisp sound against the daggers, their wrists began to feel numb.
"Captain, get out of the way."
One of the mercenaries saw a vine behind him charging towards Captain Zhao's back and quickly lunged to push him to the ground.
A vine flashed overhead.
Captain Zhao saw the vine piercing directly towards Zhou Lin and couldn't help but look surprised.
"Professor Zhou Lin, get down!"
Captain Zhao watched as the vines spread towards Zhou Lin from all directions, his heart filled with terror.
Zhou Lin glanced slightly, standing in place without a care, letting these things slowly approach him.
"Zhou Lin..."
Huo Qi, lying on the ground, quickly called out.
*Ding...*
*Clang...*
These vines hit Zhou Lin's body, but they were split in half by Zhou Lin's physique.
Everyone was shocked.
Zhou Lin's physique was different from theirs, but it shouldn't be this different, right?
What kind of body was this? Fire and water were one thing, but why was it impervious to blades and spears?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Inside the live broadcast.
"Damn, is this a big shot? What's going on? Can an ordinary person have this?"
"This must be a body of steel. No wonder Big Shot Zhou Lin is so fearless. Who wouldn't be arrogant with this?"
"Little master of arrogance, number one in awesomeness. Japan, didn't you say our big shot wasn't a god? Now I'll show you if this is a god."
"You guys talk, you're so awesome, why are you silent now?"
"You'll never find another person like my big shot in your lifetime."
The audience in the live broadcast watched Zhou Lin's appearance, all of them collectively shocked.
In the Dean's conference room.
"Damn, you were right. Zhou Lin really doesn't need to worry."
Professor Hu glanced at the professor beside him and gave him a thumbs up.
"Are all cultivators like this nowadays? Do they all have such powerful abilities? Can they do this?"
Professor Wen felt that the Taoist priests he had seen before didn't have Zhou Lin's abilities.
The Dean, thinking of Zhou Lin's hidden skill, immediately felt relieved. He had underestimated this man.
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin ignored the attacks from these guys and looked at the white Juniperus chinensis. It was now similar to the iron tree and silver flowers, all silvery white, looking the same as the iron tree and silver flowers at first glance.
Zhou Lin looked at the vines on the side, and many more were approaching him.
He flicked his Azure Dragon Sword lightly, and the Azure Dragon spun back and forth in the air.
Upon seeing the Azure Dragon, the vines all attacked towards its position. The mercenaries, students, and professors were all lying down.
"Just lie there, don't move around."
Zhou Lin had just discovered that these vines were chasing anything that moved, whether it was an illusion or a physical entity.
This made things much easier.
"But what about you?"
The metaphysics professor didn't want Zhou Lin to get hurt. How would he explain it to the Dean when they returned? This would be a disaster.
"What can I do? They can't move me now, and there's no big deal. So don't worry about it."
Zhou Lin explained calmly.
Everyone thought it made sense and watched as Zhou Lin was surrounded by vines, with some persistent vines poking at his body.
Zhou Lin ignored these vines for now, as they were not a threat. The real problem was the Juniperus chinensis, which had to be dealt with.
"System, give me a recommendation."
With so many points now, who would care about tens of thousands of recommendation fees? Having points meant being rich, there was no doubt about that.
Zhou Lin looked at a recommendation that appeared before him. It was a pair of scissors with several dragon-like patterns on it, and a dragon's mouth-like part...
This thing looked very high-end.
"I know it can prune branches, but can this big tree be pruned?"
Zhou Lin was skeptical.
[Host, you can try. You are now immensely strong. You can pull out the tree roots.]
The system's words made Zhou Lin think of Lu Zhishen uprooting the willow tree.
He had always envied Lu Zhishen back then. Could he try something similar now?
Zhou Lin's eyes lit up, and he excitedly walked to the side of the Juniperus chinensis.
Inside the live broadcast.
"What's wrong with the big shot? Why is he smiling so happily? What is he excited about?"
